Roitfeld And Battaglia At Ultrasuede Premiere

The film Ultrasuede: In Search of Halston premiered in Europe last night at Notting Hill's Electric Cinema in London and Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld and Giovanna Battaglia were among the beautiful people celebrating its release. Director Whitney Sudler-Smith tells the story of the life of Roy Halston, a veritable fashion legend famed for dressing the jet set: Jacqueline Kennedy, Bianca Jagger, Lauren Bacall, Babe Paley, Liza Minnelli, Elizabeth Taylor, Anjelica Huston. Hostess Kinvara Balfour shone in Halston amidst the glamorous guests screening the film including Sara Brajovic, Edie Campbell, Matt Collisaw, Andrea Dellal, Charlotte Dellal, Marina Hanbury, Nicky Haslam, Daniella Helayel, Fran Hinckman, Nellee Hooper, Annabelle Horsey, Stephen Jones, Dan Macmillan, Polly Morgan, Princess Tatiana of Greece, Marios Schwab, Amanda Sheppard, Sacha Volkova, David Walliams, and Matthew Williamson. The afterparty was conveniently located directly above the show at the Electric Club where the sounds of the 70s colored the night, paying proper respect to Halston's immense influence on disco fashion.

Happy Halloween Roitfeld Style

I have no photographs of the Roitfeld family in their costumes for this Halloween, instead enjoy additional images from le bal masqué de Vogue Paris now in the gallery. I found lots of new shots of the Roitfelds and friends en masqué so this must suffice for our Halloween treat. Also view Roitfeld Halloween Costumes from years past, j'adore Julia's cat costume. Happy Halloween!

Giovanna Battaglia: True Colors

Contrasting sharply with the black and white shot by Fred at Easy Fashion Paris that I posted recently, Giovanna Battaglia's engaging use of color in this outfit deserves its very own post. Special thanks to Phill Taylor of Taylor-Made who captured the first two photographs of Giovanna at Chanel and graciously allowed me to share them here with you. The olive green trench coat that Gio wears is from the latest Valentino Resort collection. As if this beautiful shade of green were not enough to brighten the day, look at her shoes! She has chosen to pair the distinctive olive tone not with basic black, but with turquoise, rose, gold, beige, plum, and grey suede and grosgrain sandals by Pierre Hardy, c'est magnifique !
